Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum)

Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) is a North American shrub found in moist woods, streambanks, and wetlands. It is a viburnum rather than a true cranberry.

The rounded shrubs reach 8 to 12 ft tall and wide. White flower clusters open from late spring into early summer, and the lobed leaves turn red and purple in fall. Bright red fruit is edible but very tart and is generally used for jam, jelly, or sauce. Plants grow in sun or partial shade and prefer moist soil.

Cold Hardiness Zone: 2
Mature Size: 8 to 12 ft tall and wide
